hi and welcome

Your right.................................. I live in Brighton LOL! Hi and welcome, there is a trade side with far more activity and fun, you are more than welcome to apply to join apply here

I think they would soon suss there is only one customer on the app and switch it off

Panels with apps are available but they are not available to the DIY market as you need to have an account to log into the web software to set up the app for the panel.

General Public? / Joe Public? Whats the difference They have keyswitch inputs for arm/disarm

I would say for a max budget of £500 the OP would be looking DIY rather than approved route (or even good co non-approved for that matter) Texe is a well known established brand ( I dont used Texe but thats more by choice than having anything against them) To find a system with all the features of remote arm disarm GSM and other bells and whistle's your choices are rather limited I would be looking for more than twice your budget to supply and install such a system (Mind you I would be installing door contacts at least on your entry route) So my advise would be: Texecom is fine, fit a door contact on the entry exit point, read the instructions thoroughly, dont expect to get too many bells and whistles for £500, there are aps available but most go via a cloud, so would require some installer intervention ( Manufacturers do not deal directly with the end user they dont buy enough kit to pay for the support required. Yale etc will deal with GP and are set up to do so) you can get a gsm dialer, but if you use a PAYG sim dont forget to regularly top it up otherwise it wont work when you need it too.

I look after the alarm at one of the producers houses, he wanted CCTV and we got talking

We had to use a clock radio in the bedroom swapped the standard leds for ir ones thats why the ir is all over the place, his wife told him she was testing it for her mother, the clock radio is quite funky though you can only read it at night. The other two we used black IR the one in the kitchen there was no where to hide the IR so there is no ir

Funnily I thought that, apparently they had been planning this for some time with his wife so they new what he wore in bed. I was also concerned about the privacy issues of between him arriving home and going to bed.

Been up all night working on this, but the final edit turned out really good really please with the 1.3mp cams they did a great job

two more posts to go LOL hi and welcome

Bizzare because in the early years NSI frowned upon their use Welcome BTW

Craig, the public side of this forum is miniscule in comparison to the trade side and there are many members that are trade only that cannot even see your post. You are welcome to apply for trade.

Hi and welcome You may find a used one on ebay but that panel is long obsolete now

welcome and hello

Why not just use a tab, sure there is a bit of a delay but it does the job and there is less of a H&S working at heights worries

Hi Dan In your shoes I would start by getting a job for a while working for an installer an approved one would be best. This will give you an idea of what and more importantly how you should be installing. Anyone can install alarms, but how theyre installed (not just hiding cables) makes all the difference

If the bell still sounds when you down power it then why are you changing the battery? Its not essential that the sa battery is replaced unless it is really u/s, the chances of someone breaking in to your property and completely down powering the alarm system is low. The bellbox looks like a Nova 6 so there is a screw behind the blue lense if you look closely you will see there is screw cover in the lense. Personally I would not bother until the battery fails completely

hi Noel and welcome

No Wayne he doesnt frequent the forums its only the really sad take our work home aholics that are on here LOL

Hi Wayne There are a few companies near you that you could try, my mate Ian at The Alarming Company in Fareham. You could try Frank at Servian and Cristies CIA all three are on the same trading estate in Fareham.

I dont know I know a few people who own garages they dont seem to be that well off, like any trade there is always someone willing to do it for a tenner less, the difference is the margin I doubt many garages get many £10k upward jobs to do, whereas most of mine seem to be bigger jobs with the odd occasional £1k domestic/small commercial every now and again. My vehicle service bills are rarely over £1k usually a lot less than half that, you would have to do a lot of services a day to get to what I turnover in a year

It must be hard oop narth! Id much rather be screwing things to walls and putting wires in holes, than trying to get all that black oil stuff out of my fingernails every night

Hi Wayne
